PDL BioPharma Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2014 Financial Results

-Annual Revenues Increased 27 percent During 2014-
 
INCLINE VILLAGE, NV, February 23, 2015 – PDL BioPharma, Inc. (PDL) (NASDAQ: PDLI) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2014.
 
Total revenues in 2014 increased 27 percent to $581.2 million from $456.3 million in 2013. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014 included $487.5 million in royalty and license payments from PDL's licensees to the Queen et al. patents, $45.7 million in net royalty payments from acquired royalty rights and a change in fair value of the royalty rights assets, and $48.0 million in interest revenue from notes receivable debt financings to late-state healthcare companies. The full year 2014 royalty revenue growth over the full year 2013 is driven by increased sales of Avastin®, Herceptin®, Xolair®, Perjeta®, Kadcyla®, Tysabri®, and Actemra® by PDL's licensees, along with a higher fixed royalty rate in 2014 over the blended fixed and tiered rate in 2013, acquired royalty rights from PDL's purchase of Depomed's diabetes-related royalties, a $29.0 million increase in interest revenue related to acquisitions of new revenue generating assets, and a $5.0 million retroactive payment in the first quarter of 2014 related to PDL’s settlement agreement with Genentech, partially offset by a higher foreign exchange loss and higher rebate paid to Novartis AG for Lucentis.

For the fourth quarter of 2014, total revenues were $117.1 million, compared to $112.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2014 include $131.9 million in royalty payments from PDL's licensees to the Queen et al. patents, $13.3 million in interest revenue from notes receivable debt financings to late-stage healthcare companies, partially offset by a $28.1 million decrease in royalty rights due to a change in fair value of the Depomed royalties. On a cash basis, during the quarter and year ended December 31, 2014, PDL received $20.7 million and $102.5 million, respectively in net cash royalty right payments, primarily from Glumetza® royalties. Since October 2013, PDL’s total cash receipts of $113.0 million from Depomed exceeded the Company’s initial forecast by $37.5 million and the return of invested capital is approximately 47 percent. The decrease in royalty rights, which is a change in their fair value, is primarily a result of a $42.6 million non-cash reduction to the fair value of the Depomed royalty asset due to a re-forecast of expected future cash flows of Glumetza in 2015. In late 2014, Salix Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Salix) disclosed there was an excess of supply of Glumetza and other drugs at the distribution level that it commercialize. PDL commenced a review of all public statements by Salix, publicly available historical third-party prescription data, analyst reports and other relevant data sources. PDL also engaged a third-party expert to specifically assess estimated inventory levels of Glumetza in the distribution channel and to ascertain the potential effects those excess inventory levels could have on expected future cash flows. For example, the cash royalties paid to PDL on sales of Glumetza in the third and fourth quarter of 2014 were $51.7 million, approximately $18.9 million above the Company’s internal forecast. Because PDL expects that the sales of Glumetza, and therefore royalties on such sales paid to the Company, will be lower in 2015 as distributors reduce their excess levels of inventory of Glumetza, PDL adjusted the estimated future cash flows of Glumetza. This adjustment resulted in the decrease in fair value of the Glumetza-related royalties.

Operating expenses in 2014 were $34.9 million, compared with $29.8 million in 2013. Operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2014 were $17.7 million, compared with $7.9 million in 2013. The increase in operating expenses for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2014, when compared to the quarter and year ended December 31, 2013, was a result of an increase in general and administrative expenses for professional services mostly related to the acquisition of revenue generating assets, and an increase in compensation related expenses, partially offset by a decrease in legal expenses mostly related to litigation.






Net income in 2014 was $322.2 million, or $1.86 per diluted share as compared with net income in 2013 of $264.5 million, or $1.66 per diluted share. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $55.1 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, as compared with net income of $61.1 million in the same period of 2013, or $0.39 per diluted share.

Net cash provided by operating activities in 2014 was $292.3 million, compared with $269.7 million in 2013. At December 31, 2014, PDL had cash, cash equivalents and investments of $293.7 million, compared with $99.5 million at December 31, 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to net cash provided by the proceeds from the issuance of the February 2018 Notes of $300.0 million, proceeds from royalty rights of $102.5 million, repayment of notes receivables of $68.8 million, proceeds from the issuance of warrants of $11.4 million, and cash generated by operating activities of $292.3 million, offset in part by cash advanced on notes receivable of $230.0 million, payment of dividends of $96.6 million, purchase of royalty rights at fair value of $81.1 million, repayment of a portion of the Term Loan of $75.0 million, repurchase of a portion of the convertible note balance of $56.2 million, purchase of call options for $31.0 million, and payment of debt issuance costs related to the February 2018 Note issuance of $9.8 million.

Following are some of the key points regarding PDL’s fourth quarter and year-end 2014 financial and business results.

Net Income
Net income in 2014 was $322.2 million, or $1.86 per diluted share as compared with net income in 2013 of $264.5 million, or $1.66 per diluted share. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $55.1 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, as compared with net income of $61.1 million in the same period of 2013, or $0.39 per diluted share.

While in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and reflects the potential conversion of shares at December 31, 2014 it does not reflect subsequent events and certain bond hedge transactions entered into by PDL. For example, it includes 3.5 million shares related to the assumed conversion of the Series 2012 notes which occurred in February 2015 and will be reported Q1 2015 as 1.34 million shares. It also includes the assumed conversion of the May 2015 Notes which will mature in May 2015, which is approximately 5.7 million and an additional 5.5 million warrants which were issued. Missing in this reconciliation is the anti-dilutive effect of the call option on the bond hedge PDL entered into, which effectively will offset the assumed 5.7 million shares related conversion of the May.  Because GAAP and accounting guidance does not allow inclusion of the anti-dilutive effect of the bond hedge, it effectively results in double dilution on the fully diluted share calculation. More details on this calculation this can be found on page 64 of our filed 10-K. 
Quarterly Dividends
On January 27, 2015, PDL’s Board of Directors declared regular quarterly dividends of $0.15 per share of common stock, payable on March 12, June 12, September 11 and December 11 of 2015 to all stockholders who own shares of PDL on March 5, June 5, September 4 and December 4 of 2015, the record dates for each of the dividend payments, respectively. On December 12, 2014, PDL paid the fourth quarterly dividend to stockholders of record totaling $24.3 million using earnings generated in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Q4-Year End 2014
February 23, 2015



Kadcyla® (TDM-1 or ado-trastuzumab emtansine):
On January 28, 2015, Genentech/Roche reported that 2014 worldwide sales were CHF 536 million and increased by 135%.
On December 18, 2014, Genentech reported that the two Kadcyla arms in MARIANNE trial in first line metastatic breast cancer failed to demonstrate superiority over Herceptin + chemotherapy. This does not affect its current approval as second line treatment for HER2+ metastatic breast cancer.
 
Gazyva (Obinutuzumab or GA101):
On February 3, 2014, Genentech/Roche reported that an independent data monitoring committee halted its Phase 3 trial in patients with indolent non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (iNHL) who are refractory to Rituxan treatment because the study met its primary endpoint early.
The study showed that people lived significantly longer without disease worsening or death (PFS) when treated with Gazyva plus bendamustine followed by Gazyva alone, compared to bendamustine alone.
On January 28, 2015, Genentech/Roche reported that 2014 worldwide sales were CHF 49 million.
On December 24, 2014, FDA approved inclusion in the label of data showing significant improvements in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients treated with Gazyva plus chlorambucil across multiple clinical endpoints when compared head-to-head with Rituxan plus chlorambucil. 
Gazyva was approved in the US on November 1, 2013 for previously untreated CLL in combination with chlorambucil.
On July 29, 2014, Roche announced EU approval for first line treatment of CLL with chlorambucil.

Solanezumab
On January 30, 2015, Lilly stated during its call with the financial community that it expected to have two year data from the extension of its Phase 3 Expedition trials in patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s Disease.
Lilly also reported in the call that the new Phase 3 trial in patients with mild Alzheimer’s Disease is about 2/3 enrolled, that they expect to complete enrollment soon and that they expect data read out in 2016.
If solanezumab were to receive marketing authorization, PDL would receive a 12.5 year know-how royalty of 2% from date of first sale.


Updates on Acquired Royalties from Depomed

Current royalty bearing products include:
Glumetza (U.S, sold by Santarus / Salix)
Glumetza (Canada, sold by Valeant Pharmaceuticals)
Glumetza (Korea, sold by LG Life Sciences)
Janumet XR (world-wide, Sold by Merck)
Additional products for which we may receive milestones and royalties
Combination of Invokana® (canagliflozin) and extended-release metformin (Janssen Pharmaceutica)
Two investigational fixed-dose combinations of drugs and extended-release metformin (Boehringer Ingelheim)

In the fourth quarter of 2014 we recorded a $28.1 million reduction in revenue related to the royalty rights- change in fair value of the Depomed asset. The decrease in royalty rights is primarily a result of a $42.6 million non-cash reduction to the fair value of the Depomed royalty asset due to a re-forecast of expected future cash flows of Glumetza in 2015. In late 2014, Salix Pharmaceuticals, Inc. disclosed there was an excess of supply of Glumetza and other drugs that it commercialized at the distribution level. PDL commenced a review of all public statements by Salix, publicly available historical third-party prescription data, analyst reports and other relevant data sources. PDL also engaged a third-party expert to specifically assess estimated inventory levels of Glumetza in the distribution channel and to ascertain the potential effects those excess inventory levels could have on expected future cash flows. For example, the cash royalties paid to PDL on sales of Glumetza in the third and fourth quarter of 2014 were $51.7 million, approximately $18.9 million above the Company’s internal forecast. Because PDL expects that the sales of Glumetza, and therefore royalties on such sales paid to the Company, will be lower in 2015 as distributors reduce their excess levels of inventory of Glumetza, PDL adjusted the estimated future cash flows of Glumetza. This adjustment resulted in the decrease in fair value of the Glumetza-related royalties.
